Riding rough. Suspension question.

[sfemti33]

No live valve shocks for the 2018. Just regular old Fox shocks.

How many miles are on the truck?

90k. They appear pretty good but my next step is to replace. Aired down last night and it helped a bit but the front feels stiff when I jump on the bumper.

Maybe you can get some take offs from someone on this forum if you have the time to wait for a deal.

If the shocks were never replaced or rebuilt, I would look into that first. You probably won’t be able to find the fronts at a dealer as they’ll he last time I looked they were all sold out another country. Best bet is to get them rebuilt. This should be done anywhere between 15k and 50k miles, all dependent on driving style. It’s also possible that they were rebuilt and have upgraded valving which would make them ride stiffer.

I have some factory 2022 35” wheels that I just took off at 500 miles if you are interested. Replaced with 37’s. I’m in Michigan. You are welcome to make an offer if you choose to go this route.

2018 802a recently bought used from Ford dealership from original owner. It feels like it rides rougher, suspension-wise, than I think it should. Highway feels like I'm riding on washboard (although our highways are shit). When I jump on the back it is one bounce and nothing else. What else should I check for?

Anyone have any feedback or input on Valve Cover Options… 2018 Raptor 3.5L ???

Thanks
Jeff

Can you post pics of the front suspension? Wonder if there is any modifications.

Rebuild or replace shocks and then evaluate from there as long as the tires are still good.

Also Raptors take a bit to get used to. Especially on asphalt/concrete. Go offroad ASAP.

 

[Badgertits]

if they have 90k on em they’re most likely due for a rebuild

Imo the 18’s ride softer.

I've heard the same.
